Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20 is a polypeptide raw material mainly used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical research and development, often referred to as a hair-darkening peptide. It is a synthetic peptide compound, belonging to the palmitoylated tetrapeptide derivatives.

Chemical Structure

It consists of four amino acid residues linked by peptide bonds and connected to a palmitoyl group (C16 fatty acid chain), with the molecular formula C₃₈H₆₈N₈O₁₀ and a molecular weight of approximately 764.0.

Bioactivity and Mechanism of Action:

• In hair care: As a biomimetic peptide of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), it can bind to melanocyte receptors in hair follicles, activate the melanin synthesis pathway, and promote melanin production. Theoretically, this could help delay gray hair or promote the reversion of gray hair to black, but clinical evidence is still insufficient.
• In skin care: It can activate the TGF-β signaling pathway in skin fibroblasts, promote the synthesis of collagen type I and III, reduce wrinkle depth, improve skin elasticity, and also has anti-inflammatory effects, regulating the skin microecology and reducing the release of inflammatory factors.

Anti-wrinkle and anti-aging effects

• Activate collagen synthesis: By activating the TGF-β signaling pathway, it promotes gene expression of type I and type III collagen in skin fibroblasts, increasing collagen production, filling wrinkle "gaps," and reducing wrinkle depth and length.
• Improve skin elasticity: Improves skin elasticity indicators, making skin firmer, reducing sagging, and delaying the skin aging process.

Anti-inflammatory and microecological regulation

• Inhibit inflammatory responses: Reduces the levels of skin inflammatory factors (such as IL-6 and TNF-α), reducing the damage of chronic inflammation to the skin, and indirectly delaying wrinkle formation.
• Regulate skin flora: Promotes the secretion of antimicrobial peptides, inhibits the colonization of harmful bacteria, maintains the balance of the skin microecology, and creates a good environment for skin health.

Hair care benefits

• Promote melanin synthesis: As a biomimetic peptide of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), it can stimulate the activity of hair follicle melanocytes, promote melanin production, and help delay the appearance of gray hair or improve early gray hair conditions.
• Protecting hair health: It may reduce hair damage caused by oxidative stress through antioxidant effects, and maintain hair color and texture.

Hair Care

• Reversing or Delaying Gray Hair: As a biomimetic peptide of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), it stimulates the activity of melanocytes in hair follicles, promotes melanin synthesis, and helps restore the natural color of hair, especially effective for early gray hair or gray hair caused by stress, nutritional deficiencies, etc.
• Anti-aging Hair Care: It can enhance hair follicle health, reduce oxidative stress damage to hair follicles, and delay the hair aging process. It is commonly used in hair care products such as shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks.

Skin Care

• Anti-wrinkle and Firming Skin: By activating the TGF-β signaling pathway in fibroblasts, it promotes the synthesis of collagen (especially type I and type III collagen), increases dermal collagen density, reduces wrinkle depth and skin roughness, and improves skin firmness.
• Anti-inflammatory and Microecological Regulation: It inhibits the release of inflammatory factors, regulates the balance of skin flora, reduces inflammatory erythema, and indirectly delays the formation of wrinkles. Suitable for sensitive skin or oily and acne-prone skin.
• Skin repair and moisturizing: Promotes skin cell repair, enhances skin barrier function, improves skin's moisturizing ability, and makes skin more delicate and smooth.
